Summary: Georgie Peppermint What’s an elf gotta do to get respect? When I’m called to Administration, I’m skeptical that the summons is related to any appreciation the Claus’ feel about how hard I work in the Porcelain Department as a detail painter. I believe it’s somehow in retaliation for my misunderstood relationship with Jingle Bell. Much to my surprise—and concern—I’m given a new assignment to become the Ambassador to the Mystical Convention… I’m being sent to the South Pacific to assist the Easter Bunny. What awaits me isn’t clear, but I’m determined to shine at my task and show all the nay-sayers that Georgie Peppermint is destined for greatness. Remy Beauchamp Spring. A symbol of rebirth with blooming flowers, trees, and the arrival of babies in every species. It was always my favorite time of the year, but this year it’s bittersweet. I have a lovely life that’s idyllic to everyone who sees it, but all I see when I look around is loss. For years, I’ve provided the eggs for Peter Cotton, a local import/exporter on Rapa Nui—Easter Island to outsiders—who holds a worldwide food drive every Spring to celebrate the rebirth on the planet. Sadly, I lost my partner last year, and unless I can find some help, I won’t be able to produce nearly enough eggs to help feed the masses. Enter the oddly beautiful man wearing tourist clothes and a strange little straw hat. He’s nice and hard-working, a friend of Mr. Cotton’s, and has been sent to the island to assist me. I’m not sure how he can help, but with the sweetly cynical man around, I’m a lot less lonely. People say there’s magic on Easter Island, thanks to the gods and goddesses who watch over its inhabitants, but never did I believe I’d come face-to-face with the manifestation of the mystical forces. And it all starts with the arrival of Georgie Pepper. This work of fiction is approximately 32,000 words in length and doesn’t end in a cliffhanger. It is part of the Easter series, “Elves After Dawn.”

Summary: Throughout the eons of time it was said that when it came to Fated Mates, the Fates never made a mistake. Could Helios and Bruno prove to be the exception to that rule? Ancient Greek God of the Sun, Helios might also be the God of Sight, but even he couldn't predict what would happen when he finally caught a glimpse of the light he'd been looking for - the one that let him know his search for his mate was over. The problem was when he chased up the source of that light, his intended one was on a date with someone else. Even when the date ended badly, Helios's efforts to help weren't appreciated. Bear shifter, Bruno Carpenter, was an ex-soldier, a current police officer, and on a date from hell. When he gets mugged he is shocked to feel his body responding to a male who suddenly appeared in the alley beside him. What was worse was that the same man started talking about them being mates. Bruno decided he must have been hit on the head harder than he thought. Unfortunately, the attack on Bruno was just part of a bigger picture - one that Helios could see thanks to his newly made Bruno App (thank you Zeus). But as Helios and Bruno spend time together, the chances of Helios having a future with the man the Fates deemed perfect for him get smaller and smaller. Is the mating of Helios and Bruno doomed to fail? Will they be the exception that proved the rule? And what does that saying even mean? Give Me A Reason is the thirteenth book in the Gods Made Me Do It series, but it can be read as a standalone.
